WoWs Bourrasque-class destroyers (1940)

A prop of the two Bourrasque-class destroyers, as they appear in World of Warships.

Yes. More bloody french ships. I will probably take a break now, but if I don't, expect the Jaguar next.

THESE ARE NOT DRIVEABLE VEHICLES, AND I WILL NEVER MAKE THEM DRIVEABLE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT BOTHER ASKING.

Fully rigged, use a model tool to tamper with moving parts.

Includes:
FS Bourrasque (1940) (normal, skybox)
FS Siroco (1940) (normal, skybox)
MN Siroco flag

Historical Notes:

Bourrasque was the lead ship of her class of 12 destroyers, the first ones built in France after WW1. She was sunk in 1940, rescuing allied soldiers during the Dunkirk evacuation.

Siroco was one of her sisters, she met the same fate while evacuating french soldiers, being hit by torpedo boats S-23 and S-26.

Originally the Bourrasque class ships were equipped with 2x1 75mm/50 M1922 AA guns, but these had been replaced with lighter guns by the start of WW2.

Armament consisted of 4x1 130mm/40 M1919 guns, 2x1 37mm/54 M1925 AA guns, 2x2 13.2mm/76 Hotchkiss AA guns and 2x3 550mm torpedo tubes.

The Bourrasque class consisted of 12 ships, Bourrasque (Blizzard), Cyclone, Mistral, Ourage (Thunderstorm), Ouragan (Hurricane), Simoun (Simoom), Siroco (Sirocco), Tempête (Tempest, Tornade (Tornado), Tramontane, Trombe (Watersprout) and Typhon (Typhoon).

Due to their huge similarities, these models can also pass for a ship of the L'Adroit class.

Please report any bugs you find.
